Under Rohit Sharma’s captaincy, Team India are dominating Australia in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy at home.

While India thrashed Australia by an innings and 132 runs in the opening Test in Nagpur, they won the second game in Delhi by six wickets.

Rohit has also played a key role with the bat as the hosts have taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the four-match Test series. The right-handed opener has registered scores of 120, 31, and 31 in the three innings that he batted so far.

Despite his success as a batter and leader, legendary all-rounder Kapil Dev was critical of the Indian skipper’s fitness while speaking on ABP News.

The 1983 World Cup-winning captain insisted that Rohit needs to work on his “weight.”

“It is very important (to be fit). More so for a captain. It's a shame if you are not fit. Rohit needs to put some hard work on it,” Kapil said.

"He is a great batter but when you talk about his fitness, he looks a bit overweight, at least on TV. Yes, it's different when you look at someone on TV and then in real life. But from whatever I see, Rohit is a great player and a great captain, but he needs to get fit. Look at Virat, whenever you see him, you say, ‘that’s some fitness!'.

Rohit Sharma will be next seen in action in the third Test against Australia, scheduled to be played in Indore from March 1.
